Scott (in case you didn&#8217;t know) was co-founder of 3D Realms; the developer of the worlds longest still born game Duke Nukem Forever.

		<description><![CDATA[I just came across this piece (Playstation PSP : Fake boards) about a set of mock-up/fake billboard adverts for the Sony PSP. It&#8217;s good to see marketers putting some effort into creative advertising which actually relates to the product. In this case the billboard puts game characters into the real world by using the billboard/PSP [...]]]></description>

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=19394
I don&#8217;t get it. Sony&#8217;s negative marketing* makes them look mean (and a little stupid) just as it does when Hilary Clinton or any other politician uses the tactic. More importantly it would also seem to be a less efficient use of Sony&#8217;s time/money, because there are three consoles [...]]]></description>
